Manufacturer Applied Magic, USA | Date 1995 | Amiga A3000, A4000 | Interface Zorro III | Autoconfig ID 2129 / 9 |
- non-linear editing system
- broadcast quality, online, non-linear, digital video edit suite
- CCIR601 720×576 PAL, 720×480 NTSC resolution
- realtime, full motion JPEG (50 fields/sec PAL, 60 fields/sec NTSC) capture and compression direct to disk
- edit and playback in realtime 50 fps direct to Betacam SP etc.
- inputs: composite, S-VHS, Betacam SP (60 dB S/N ratio), timecode, genlock
- automatic gain control of incoming CVBS signal
- uses three separate digitizers for each component of the YUV signal
- outputs: composite, S-VHS, Betacam SP (RS-343A standard), timecode
- 10 bit D/A converter
- LTC and VITC time code support
- interface for the AD516 and the SoundStage audio cards for simultaneous audio and video editing
- Producer editing software
- requires Buster 11, a Fast SCSI 2 AV hard disk for video data and a SCSI 2 AV hard disk for audio data
Manufacturer Applied Magic, USA | Date 1996 | Amiga A3000, A4000 | Interface Zorro III |
- developed to operate in conjunction with the Broadcaster Elite and the Broadcaster32 non-linear video editing cards
- requirements:
- Broadcaster Elite or Digital Broadcaster 32 video card
- 32 bit SCSI device (for example Phase5's Fastlane Z3)
- SuperBuster 11
- AmigaOS 3.x
- processor
- Texas Instruments TMS320C30 @ 40 MHz DSP
- 20 MIPS, 40 MFLOPS
- memory
- 256 kB SRAM audio sample memory expandable up to 4 MB with two SIMMs
- 32 kB high speed dual ported SRAM program memory
- audio support
- Crystal CS4225 16 bit audio codec (quad channel version of the CS4215)
- 16 internal 16 bit audio channels (with at least 2 MB SRAM)
- sample rates: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
- realtime volume envelope control (i.e. no rendering)
- realtime pan control - place sound anywhere in the room
- audio effects: compression, noise gating, reverb
- audio scrubbing
- video effects support
- also serves as a transition and CG rendering accelerator
- accelerates transition rendering times to 4-10× faster over a stock A4000
- more complex transitions and video effects such as 3D page turns with realistic rendering time
- I/O
- inputs
- 2 balanced +4 dBu XLR analog inputs
- 1 (stereo pair) digital input (AES / EBU format)
- outputs
- 4 balanced +4 dBu XLR analog outputs (ie. surround capable)
- 1 (stereo pair) digital output (AES / EBU format)
- digital I/O also supports the SP/DIF standard
